: “Here’s a bizarre email I got from a batch A Corp
member serving in Victory Model College, Efodo – Okpo,
Olamaboro L.G.A of Kogi State. The mail below and the threat
written on a blackboard above
It’s no good news to hear that NYSC Corp Members are
treated with discontentment in Kogi State, especially in
remote local government like Olamaboro.
There have been cases of some drunk youths ganging up to
launch attack on corpers at their capital project sites,
accusing them of integrating strange norms into their
culture
Let me go straight to what I witnessed this morning. I
woke up this morning like every other boring mornings in
the village where I serve, dressed up, and went to the
school. On arrival, all the students were gathered at one
corner looking at me and the other Corp members, some
with satisfaction, while others with pity.
On getting to the class rooms, we saw some write-ups
directly warning me and other three(3) batch A Corp
members. The pictures attached to this email will help tell
the story better (even with the wrong English). Continue…
As am writing this report, four(4) of us (batch A) and
two (2) other batch C corpers are on hide out, praying God
to intervene on the issue.”
Batch A passing out parade (POP) comes up on the 13th
of February, and the question is why would people whose
lives we have impacted for close to one year decide to
reward us with death threats?
